Steven Pinder: The Christian Traveler

Roy Tester introduced Steven Pinder to Buddhism and to our mindfulness and kindness partnership. Steven, who served in the military and spent time in Germany, traveled throughout Europe. None of the other men I write had been overseas. He wrote:

“I do Christian Study in the Bible and then in the afternoon, I do meditation and Buddhist scripture study. I just spent the funds for a large print Bible. Scofield Study Bible, so I could see better and I am glad I did.” Steven had glaucoma that was treated before prison, but not initially treated in prison, then treatment started in prison but now the prison is again not following the instructions of his ophthalmologist. He will go blind…Steven wrote, “Now that I have found Buddhism, I have a way to see once I am blind.”
